Description: Psychoanalytic Case Studies from an Interpersonal - Relational Perspective contains reports of long - term treatments including many dialogues and dreams with commentaries following each one. Drawing from theories that have been developed since Freud the analysts focus on problems in living as opposed to diagnoses and repressed sexual and aggressive urges. They also express their own feelings towards patients and even their own dreams. The cases themselves include sexual abuse a man whose father killed his mother a change in sexual orientation as well as those of depression physical problems and difficulties relating interpersonally such as fear of rejection and rejecting help. Actual dialogues of sessions are featured so that readers can see what takes place in psychoanalysis. The analysts here draw from theories of Sullivan Fromm Horney and Fromm - Reichmann Kohut Winnicott and more recently Levenson Mitchell Bromberg Donnell Stern and Aron to name a few. Most contemporary case reports come from short - term therapies and many rely on techniques of changing conscious cognitions and encouraging new behaviors. The treatments in this book while often including such interventions explore more in - depth processes that may be unconscious and related to transferential expectations from previous relationships encouraging new experiences and not simply explanations. Psychoanalytic Case Studies from an Interpersonal - Relational Perspective will be of great interest to interpersonal and relational psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists in clinical practice.
